Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The following primary outcome measures are assessed at rest, 5 minutes and 24 and 48h after GR therapy: 1. Muscle tone (F = Hz), stiffness (S = N/m), flexibility, and relaxation (ms), are measured with a myotonometer (MyotonPRO AS, Myoton Ltd, Estonia 2021) 2. Muscle pain threshold (PT-kG or N) is measured with the FDIX algesimeter (Wagner Instruments, Greenwich, CT, USA 2013) 3. Muscle strength (W), is measured with a hand dynamometer (EH106 China 2020) 4. Perfusion units (PU) are measured using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), (Perimed, Sweden 2004) 5. Muscle power (RSI - relative strength index) is measured behind Measuring platform Force Decks (Vald Performance Australia 2012) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Muscle tone (Hz), stiffness (N/m), flexibility (NaN), pressure pain threshold (N/cm), microcirculatory response described in non-reference units (PU) and maximum isometric force (Fmax [kgf]) measured with LDF, myonometer, platform, algesimeter, dynamometer - as described in the primary outcome measures (between 10:00 and 12:00) at rest, 2 minutes before GR stimulation and 2 minutes after GR stimulation 5min, 24h, 48h. | — |
